Review: 2022 Toyota Corolla Cross 1.8 V Hybrid
As I write this review, gasoline prices have breached P 75 per liter. To put that into perspective, refilling a 50-liter tank a week would cost me P 3,750—or more than half my monthly fuel budget. No matter what you drive, the endless fuel price hikes certainly sting the wallet that it’s starting to seriously affect the sort of new car you’re considering to buy. With battery electric vehicles or BEVs still prohibitively expensive, the next best thing could be to consider a gasoline-electric hybrid. And one that could probably answer most of your requirements is the 2022 Toyota Corolla Cross 1.8 V Hybrid.

Review: 2022 Suzuki Celerio 1.0 GL AGS
At P 754,000, the Suzuki Celerio is the most expensive sub-B segment hatchback in the market. Putting things into perspective, it’s more expensive than the Toyota Wigo TRD S (P 700,000) and the Kia Picanto EX (P 745,000); heck, it’s pricier even than the Honda Brio RS (P 730,000) and that one carries a larger 1.2-liter motor. This seems like madness, but according to Suzuki Philippines, there’s reasoning behind all this, and that’s down to technology. However, after spending a couple of days with this diminutive hatchback, yes, you do see some flashes of brilliance now and then, but they’re never enough to outweigh its rather prohibitive price point.
